The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers

Hacker extraordinaire Kevin Mitnick delivers the explosive
encore to his bestselling The Art of Deception
Kevin Mitnick, the world's most celebrated hacker, now devotes his
life to helping businesses and governments combat data thieves,
cybervandals, and other malicious computer intruders. In his
bestselling The Art of Deception, Mitnick presented fictionalized
case studies that illustrated how savvy computer crackers use
"social engineering" to compromise even the most technically secure
computer systems. Now, in his new book, Mitnick goes one step
further, offering hair-raising stories of real-life computer
break-ins-and showing how the victims could have prevented them.
Mitnick's reputation within the hacker community gave him unique
credibility with the perpetrators of these crimes, who freely
shared their stories with him-and whose exploits Mitnick now
reveals in detail for the first time, including:

A group of friends who won nearly a million dollars in Las
Vegas by reverse-engineering slot machines

Two teenagers who were persuaded by terrorists to hack into the
Lockheed Martin computer systems

Two convicts who joined forces to become hackers inside a Texas
prison

A "Robin Hood" hacker who penetrated the computer systems of
many prominent companies-andthen told them how he gained
access

With riveting "you are there" descriptions of real computer
break-ins, indispensable tips on countermeasures security
professionals need to implement now, and Mitnick's own acerbic
commentary on the crimes he describes, this book is sure to reach a
wide audience-and attract the attention of both law enforcement
agencies and the media.

Kevin D. Mitnick, bestselling author of The Art of
Deception, may be the most celebrated hacker ever to "go legit"
and apply his considerable skills to helping organizations protect
themselves from people like himself. Considered an authority on
preventing security breaches, he has appeared on Good Morning
America, 60 Minutes, and others.

William L. Simon is coauthor of The Art of
Deception and the bestseller iCon: Steve Jobs, also
